A PROCLAMATION
To Whomsoever These Presents Shall Come Greetings:
Whereas, certain days specified in this paper have been set apart for
holding the annual Fair, and whereas the institution is one for the profit
and pleasure of this community, and the interest of its people will be pro-
moted by attending it, studying its exhibits and witnessing the grand pano-
rama of progress that is there spread out before them. Those days are pro-
claimed spec ial holidays, set apart for the occasion, whereon all persons are
commanded and required to lay aside all manner of conflicting business and
present themselves at the fair grounds gate, there to enter and join the as-
sembled multitude, and there spend as much time as possible, and educate and
enjoy themselves to their fullest capacity.
It is expected that this proclamation will be cheerfully obeyed under the
pains and penalties, to those who do not, of being out of sympathy with the
interests of agriculture and kindred employment represented at the exhibition,
and mindful of the great benefits to accrue from this uncommon opportunity
for rest, recreation and physical and mental improvement.
Given umder the hand and seal of the authorities of the
STANLEY COUNTY FAIR.

Of the opaline sky
And watching the clouds
Floating dreamily by.

For want of a thrill,

Of August is may first be said, its
name is from Augustus, whom men
have likened unto Ted, perhaps with-
out injustice. He made the world go
round about as many times a minute,
and the news was always dull with-
out the great Augustus in it. He had
his Ananias Club for liars and fakers,
and he loved to sail his little tub
among the Roman breakers. He
chunted peace a sort of plague, and
never did pursue it. but let it rally at
the Hague, and you couldn’t beat
him to it.
He preached about the same old
things that Teddy has been preach-
ing, and most of Rome’s awakenings
resulted from his teachings. He bat-
tled hotly for the right, and valiently
imbued it, and the stork could not at-
tempt to light but what he up and
shooed it.
pire enjoyed peace. There were no
reformers, and times were good. The
emperor liberally patronized litera-
ture, and even wrote verses himself.
Poets like Horace and Virgilhad their
own enameled gold chariots with
liveried alligator bait on the job be-
hind, and instead of having the cruel
circus games of Nero, the populace
met in the colliseum and w’rote limer-
ick for prizes. It is said that Augus-
tus found Rome a city of brick, and
left it a city of marble. He was a
very proud man, and inorder to make
his month as anybody’s, they took a
day from February and added it to
August, which originally had but
thirty. Augustus deserves to be bet-
ter known, and it is not his fault that
that he is not. He tried everything
from divorce to race suicide. He had
three wives and one child, a daugh-
ter Julia. He beat Antony and Cleo-
patra 9 to 0 in the famous engagement
at Actiuin, enough in itself to have
left his name upon a ten-cent cigar;
but he stood about the same chance
against the luster of his immortal
uncle as Miss Roosevelt stands the
limelight with her sister Alice.
The dog days willreturn to paint
The pond like Erin’s Isle,
And the boys will navigate the scum
In good sea-going style;

er will say, “Ain’t he nice!” with
every kiss and hug, but the father will
declare he is a dem old kissing bug.
After the 21st, August willbe under
the zodiacal sign of Virgo. This will
make Chautauqua crowds restless and
outdoor orators will have to follow
them around through the woods and
talk to them when they will stand. It
willalso cause Mr. Rockefeller to get
busy on that story of his life, and
monopoly will get so nervous it will
have to have a trained nurse and take
nourishment through a funnel. Per-
sons born under Virgo have domestic
tastes and know how to hold a baby.
They are very bright and know what
the political isssue is. They are san-
guine in temperament and believe the
worst is over. They abuse their stom-
achs and will eat anything that does
not bite them first.
The time of green and growing,
things willnear its termination, and
the song the threshers sweetly sings
will come with moderation. We’ll
sort o’ think of Autumn time, the
hunter and the nutter, and the fish-
ing hole will wear a slime as thick as
apple butter.
And when September willreturn
With autumn breezes cool,
And the tearful boy willcuss his luck
and hipper back to school.
